Billing

Investigators receive a monthly DLAR invoice, which includes charges for the purchase of animals, per diem and other animal related charges. Examples of other recharges are special veterinary technical services, surgical services, the purchase of drugs and/or supplies and freight charges for importing and exporting animals. Invoices are sent approximately two weeks after the end of the month that is being billed.

The invoice should be reviewed to verify the account number and any changes to the account to be billed should be placed directly on the invoice and initialed. Any questions about the content of the invoice should be directed to the DLAR Business Manger, Angela Lui, at 4-1165. The invoice must be signed by the principle investigator and returned to the DLAR Business Office (zip=8611).

Signed invoices are due within two weeks of receipt. If invoices are not received, an initial reminder will be sent to the investigator. DLAR strives to work closely with investigators regarding issues of timely release of grant monies targeted for animal costs from sponsored programs. However, investigators should be aware that continued or repeated non-payment of animal related bills will result in a loss of their ability to house animals at Stony Brook University.
